COURSE 18

SEA OF JAPAN

Sunset & Sea Squids Ride

Enjoy the beautiful view and food of the Sea of Japan

SEA OF JAPAN

In this course, you feel integrated with the ocean and ride along the coastline where beautiful scenic views of the Sea of Japan appear one after another. You can see the ever‐changing scenery, such as the strangely-shaped rocks lying in a row, waves washing onto the beach, the view of the fishing villege drying squids in rows like curtains, etc. "Senjohjiki Coast" is famous. The lord of Tsugaru held a banquet there putting 1,660 square meters tatami mats for his guests. You can walk around the wide rock ledge. There are also many local delicacies, such as "Fukaura Tuna Steak Bowl" and the famous meal of Ajigasawa, "Flounder Bowl."
